Spread evenly, in a long line along the N'waswitsontso River, are secluded family cottages. Part of Talamati is also a private facility, only allowing residents access to the camp. Talamati Bushveld Camp is within close proximity to a larger rest camp, with guests being allowed the use of the larger camp's amenities and shops. The Xitsonga word Talamati translates as 'lots of water, ironic when considering the river is actually mostly dry. The clay soil in the riverbed traps reservoirs of underground water, and tributaries flowing into the lush vegetation. The camp itself is located in an open valley, maximising game viewing opportunities for both grazers and their ever-present predators.
• Cottages have one-bedroom with 2 single beds and a double sleeper couch in the lounge area. The cottages has a bathroom, kitchen and ceiling fan. The open verandah has a seating area.
• Guest cottages are made up of two-bedrooms, including a double sleeper couch in the lounge area. Some cottages have multiple bathrooms and ceiling fans. The kitchen has a gas stove, refrigerator, sink, cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery. Not all the cottages have a verandah.
Talamati Camp offers adventure in the form of safari game drives, all under the supervision of well informed and keen professional field guides. Important to note: children under the age of six years old are not permitted on the safari game vehicle.
Facilities at the camp include: Information at the reception area, public telephones, a mini-shop at reception which provides wood and phone cards, but no food such as meat, electrical points for appliances in the rooms, communal boma (braai, barbecue area) in camp, Muzandzeni and Nhlanguleni Picnic areas, and a bird hide in the camp, and individual boma areas for each accommodation unit.

Leigh-Ann Croeser from Safari.com was fantastic
Leigh-Ann from Safari.com was great to work with to plan our group safari trip. She was able to get me on the priority waitlist for a lodge that I liked, which ended up working out for our group during my preferred dates. Leigh-Ann was responsive and provided various tour recommendations for us to decide on the best option for us. There were a few email and name typos from Leigh-Ann that I had to correct, but other than that, I had a great experience.

Dolan was terrific
Dolan was terrific. He got back to us immediately to answer all of our questions. And was so nice to hold a room for a couple of days because of my moms passing. It gave us time to finalize her arrangements and time to book our trip. I would highly recommend using him to book your trip!!
